Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful

Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful

Make it a great day!

The card I am sharing today is from the Stampin’ Up! Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set.  You can see it is bright and cheery.  

My inspiration for this card comes from the Cupcake Inspiration #506

       Dream Valley- Dies and/or Punches

I should look for a challenge that is layers, as I have so many, but it just did not look right to me otherwise.  I started with a Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee card stock base added a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock layer, another Bumblebee card stock layer, a Stampin’ Up! Real Red card stock layer, and finally the art piece stamped on Whisper White card stock.  All the layers have been cropped using Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The tree image is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake ink, the birdhouse is Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink. The leaves are Stampin’ Up! Bumblebee ink and the pumpkin is Stampin’ Up! Pumpkin Pie ink. The greeting in Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink. I am hoping these browns are considered neutral.

The jewels are from Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels that I colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends marker. I adhered one jewel to the greeting and the other two are randomly placed.

The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso ink onto a scrap that was left from the crop of the art piece layer.  I had a scrap piece of ribbon, the name and color I do not know as I colored the ribbon using a Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends marker.

The sentiment is from the Autumn Goodness Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink. The shock of corn stalks is stamped in the same ink and from the same stamp set.  It is colored using a Light So Saffron Stampin’ Blends marker, there is not a Bumblebee Stampin’ Blends.

A Stampin’ Up! Medium Whisper White envelope gets a layer of DSP from the Stampin’ Up! Dandy Garden DSP (available January 5, 2021).

Stampin’ Up! Special Someone

Stampin’ Up! Special Someone

Happy Thursday! It looks like another rainy day in Georgia, but what does that matter to me it took me 3 days to get this card made.

The card today features the Stampin’ Up! Special Someone Stamp Set.  The greeting is from Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set.

The design inspiration comes from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #358.  

And…

The Always Fun Challenge — Shades of Green.

And…

The Double “D” Challenges — It’s All About Green.

This is true shades of green — Garden Green card base,  Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Soft Seafoam are all the greens.  You can see all these greens in the layers.  Makes for a cute in-depth card.  All the layers are cropped using dies from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The art image is from the Stampin’ Up! Special Someone and is stamped on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White base using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.  The image is then colored using Stampin’ Up! Light & Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.  The Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread has been colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker and attached to the two Shamrock balloons.  Three Basic Rhinestone jewels colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Shaded Spruce (another green) Stampin’ Blends Marker is added to the greeting and each Shamrock center.

The Whisper White sentiment panel is framed with a frame that was the negative piece left when a panel of the Stampin’ Up! Garden Lane Designer Series Paper is cropped.  It is adhered to the inside of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  The Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Dies was used for the sentiment panel with sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Sending You Thoughts and Here’s A Card Stamp Sets stamped in Stampin’ Up! Garden Green Classic Ink.

A Whisper White envelope receives a panel of the Garden Lane DSP to the envelope flap and your project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Day

Stampin’ Up! Lovely Day

I hope you will have a Lovely Thursday and no rain or snow!

The card I am featuring today is created using the flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! February 2020 Paper Pumpkin called Lovely Day.  I believe it is a larger version of the flowers on the Sale-A-Bration Happy Birthday To You Stamp Set.

The inspiration for my design comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge. This week’s design is by Melissa Craig.

I am also playing at Addicted To Stamps and More — Make Your Mark

And…

Wordart Wednesday — Anything Goes

Start with a Stampin’ Up! Rich Razzleberry card stock base, add a panel of the same card stock, embossed using the Stampin’ Up! Subtle Embossing Folder matted on a panel of Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock. Pop it on the card base and you are ready for the banners and flower.

The banners are cut from Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ Regal Designer Series Paper and 6″ x 6″ 2019-2021 Incolor Designer Series Paper. They are both matted on a Whisper White mat.  The Stampin’ Up! Stitched So Sweetly Die is used to crop the label panel for the greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and for the flower to be popped onto.  Three Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Stampin’ Up! Dark Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends Marker, then popped on the label.

Stamp the flower, using Tuxedo Memento Black ink, from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin on Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Thick card stock, the flower is watercolored using Stampin’ Up! Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive ink.  The smaller flower is stamped on the sentiment panel. A tiny bow made using Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Baker’s Twine is popped on the flower using a Stampin’ Up! Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Hold On To Hope Stamp Set is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink on the Whisper White panel.  As I said earlier the flowers are from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day Stamp Set and are also watercolored.

A panel of Stampin’ Up! 6″ x 6″ 2019-2021 Incolor Designer Series Paper is given to the Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap and your project for the day is complete.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane

 I hope everyone had a great 4th of July.

The  card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set.

My challenge for the day is the  Global Design Project.  It is CASE the Designer Connie Collins.

The base is Stampin’ Up! Basic Black card stock with a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock for a frame for the focal panel.  The focal panel is from Stampin’ Up! 2019-2021 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

The daisies are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray ink on Whisper White card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane Stamp Set.  Each daisy was fussy cut and popped on the card front using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The greeting Smile is stamped in the upper right corner using Seaside Spray ink.  The leaves are cut from Stampin’ Up! Garden Green card stock using the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Tags Dies.  They are popped and glued on the card front.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock using stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Daisy Lane.

In finishing my card I decorated a Whisper White Envelope so it will coordinate with the theme of the card front.   

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and my wish is that your day be blessed and that you find inspiration and encouragement for your own creations.
